SL Corporation Announces New Monitoring for the IBM® SmartCloud™

SL Corporation^®, a leading provider of application and service-level system monitoring solutions, today announced that its RTView for APM platform is now able to help companies deploying in the IBM (News - Alert)^® SmartCloud^™ to quickly and efficiently provide cloud-based monitoring of those applications and components through integrated deployment of RTView within the IBM Workload Deployer (IWD).

"Understanding how their cloud-enabled applications are performing is very important to our SmartCloud customers," said Mac Devine, Director and CTO, Cloud Portfolio, Global Technology (News - Alert) Services, IBM. "RTView provides a different way of monitoring: a true solutions view. And the full monitoring platform can be deployed in the cloud with a small footprint, enabling our SmartCloud users to gain immediate value."

SL's offering includes monitoring support for WebSphere^® Application Server, DB2^® and IBM WebSphere MQ^®. The RTView agent for these IBM components and optionally, the whole monitoring system, can be deployed in the SmartCloud. In addition to support for IBM middleware, the RTView platform can be configured to monitor numerous other middleware components, enabling users to provide cross-vendor monitoring across virtually all cloud-based middleware.

The lightweight, flexible nature of SL's RTView product may also be of particular use in cloud-based development and test environments where integrating with on-premise monitoring solutions might be unrealistic.

"For anyone moving to the IBM SmartCloud, RTView can be a fast and efficient option to get monitoring in place," said Tom Lubinski, Founder and CEO of SL Corporation. "The open nature of the platform enables monitoring of both IBM and cross-vendor components, making possible end-to-end visibility into the health state of their cloud-based applications."
